Retinols have long ruled the anti-aging skincare world, but has some unwanted side effects. Ditch the retinol and meet our star ingredient, Bakuchiol Oil. The plant based retinol alternative that won't irritate your skin is good news for those with sensitive skin. Traditional retinol products can cause several side effects such as redness, peeling, and increased sensitivity to sunlight. You might be wondering "how often to use Bakuchiol Oil"? It can be used morning and night every day as part of your skincare routine. This alternative to retinol helps to smooth wrinkles, fade dark spots and offers more anti-aging benefits. 

Plant Based Retinol Alternative

If you're looking for an alternative to retinol because you've had bad reactions but want more youthful, radiant skin, try these alternatives. Bakuchiol Oil offers similar benefits to retinol but with no irritation. It helps to treat fine lines and wrinkles, breakouts and dark spots. Perfect for sensitive skin, it stimulates collagen production, promotes cell turnover and helps with acne. 

Derived from the Babchi plant, this retinol alternative has been used in Chinese and Ayurvedic healing treatments. As with most products, consistency is key!

Vitamin C is another retinol alternative, an antioxidant that helps build collagen production and brighten skin. Both Bakuchiol and Rosehip oil can be found in CIRCA 1970 Face Oil, with carefully selected botanicals and packed with antioxidants such as Vitamin A & C. 

Why Bakuchiol is the Best Retinol Alternative for Sensitive Skin

In addition to its anti-aging benefits, Bakuchiol has natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, helping to soothe and protect the skin from environmental stressors. Retinols have been under the microscope as of late due to being overly harsh on some skin types and overuse. Bakuchiol is suitable for all skin types, has a better tolerability for daytime use and more gentle on the skin. It mimics the effects of retinol, stimulating collagen production, improving skin texture and reducing fine lines.
